Happy Sunday all! I hope you are enjoying this delightful day and finding a good reason to relax.

I am back today to share my Asian inspired card for Sentimental Sundays.

I used a great new set that Ann is releasing for Raindrop Echo at Whimsy Stamps. The set will be released on Feb. 1st and is entitled, "I Heart You" with 6 different sentiments.

I had this DMD paper for quite some time now and am glad I was able to use to it. I really like the thickness of it. I sewed around the edges and then distressed the edges to give a little texture. The sentiment I printed out and then stamped a SU heart with ruby red ink. I added a row of bling under Confucius and then tied a fabric remnant around and attached a silver heart charm. Pretty easy huh? I am liking the easy cards these days.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life: #36 scripture in background

Crafty Purple Frog: distressing

Creatalicious Challenge: love and ribbon

Daring Cardmakers: oriental theme

Delightful Challenges: use a heart

Have a blessed Sunday!
